Barbarous Birds

Posted on January 13, 2022 by acupofsongwriting

The birds

Lurk

Over the land

Overlords

With a quick hand

Seeking the weak

And unsheltered

Among the cactus

Crawling bugs

The barbarous birds

Are looking for blood

Another Thunder

Posted on January 13, 2022 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

Out over the vast

Fresh ocean

Of waves and sand

A grip of thunder

Roars out

Over the land

With a lightning

Quick and commanding

Another thunder

From the beach

And sand

Flawless

Posted on January 11, 2022 by acupofsongwriting

Flawless

Is the hope

Of a mind

Stuck on a tight

Rope

Walking the way

With perfect balance

My own thoughts wonder

If flawless is just

A thought

Of what could be

And not what is

A Secret Trouble

Posted on January 11, 2022 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

A secret trouble

Holds down my heart

In ways

I never knew

What to do

When the whole of opportunity

Is now a faded blue

I hold back the anger

And now face to face

With the danger

Of a trouble

Held

Deep

Within

Another Game

Another game

Another night

Another bright

Light

Fight

So I am done

And will walk away

From the chaos

That reigns us in

Everyday

Yonder Tomorrow

Posted on January 7, 2022 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

Taken away

From all the mistakes

I have made

From the oceans

To the land

I try to better

Understand

The world

I live in

With hope

And wonder

Under the skies

Yonder

Tomorrow

Away with It

Posted on December 27, 2021 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

Away with it

And bring in the yes

The yes for the future

Of what will happen soon

I pray for a year of yes

Be laid upon

The days ahead

I’ve Done This Once

Posted on December 26, 2021 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

A year ago

Was no different

In fact

The exact

Same

But even a bit more

Confusing

And off kilter

But with the weather

Withers away

I hope the gray

Turns to blue

In the year ahead

Another Go

Posted on December 26, 2021 by acupofsongwriting

Another go

Is the way it went

Over the evening

Spent alone

That night

So tonight I

Try again

See a future

Of hope

Another Way

Posted on December 25, 2021 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

As the shore

Laps

The southern dunes

The city emerges

From the dense fog

Then I rwalizr

New paths

Come to us in life

If only we can see

Them
